REMEMBERING

Josephine Behe

March 9, 2019

When I think of my Aunt Josie, I think of how blessed we were to have her in our families for all those years of her “childhood”!!In the 1920’s, she was a child with my mother, Madeline. In the 1950’s, I have wonderful memories of her as a child with me: coloring books, paper dolls, dancing and going to the movies together.In the 1970’s, our kids, Kim, Jeff & Chris, enjoyed playing and teasing with Josie just to hear her wonderful laughter!In the 1990’s, our grandsons, Mitch & Austin got to know Aunt Josie and enjoyed playing their games with her too.In the early 2000’s our granddaughters, Alexa & Megan, joined the family to also share their childhood with our “forever young” Aunt Josie!!

What a blessing it has been to have our Josie with us for 93 years of her childhood ... now she has completed her rounds and is with her parents, our parents, and the Heavenly Father of us all!

Aunt Josie was a family treasure from generation to generation. She is loved and missed. Such a happy and gentle soul.

Favorite memoiries of Josie include taking her out to lunch. She always ordered a hamburger with “nothin “ on it. If someone in the group ordered a beer she would ask for one of those too. 😉

When we would say goodbye to her she would always say “tell your family hello for me”

She was the best and we are blessed to have her in our life.
